Petzi Posted April 6, 2011 My best lucky finding was ages ago (by that time, we were still playing basketball with boulders). Early 80s, I was 9 or 10, and as every year, my hometown held its traditional "flea market for kids". I bought a random bag of several kg of miscellaneous bricks there, sold by some kid, for 100BEF (2.5€). Turns out that amongst all the bricks, it contained the complete yellow castle. It still happily shines on my shelf, more than 30 years later Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MinifigFreak2010 Posted April 19, 2011 I got pretty lucky while at the lego store In the BAM bin, I found parts for clowns and magicians and even some cheerleader(no signs of the body for the cheerleader). here's what I got from the bin: PAB minifigure bin - one lego series 1 clown w/ a blue hat for the 5th piece, one lego series 1 magican w/ top hat for 5th piece, and a mermaid tail and top w/ a Cheerleader series 1 head and hair and a forestman hat(minus feather) for the 5th piece. Plus I was really lucky mom was there b/c she was the one who spied the tail and helped me find the very last pair of black pants and I think even the top. Then I also got lucky w/ getting 3 lego series 4 figures(Artist, Werewolf, and surfer girl). All I can say about the store is WOW. I was trying to locate any of those 3 by the feel method. Except for what I assume was the kimono girl dress bottom, I couldn't tell one thing from the other. The man working there saw me having trouble and he helped. He pulled out a big handfull and found all 3 like it was nothing. I wasn't sure if it was right until yesterday morning when I opened but it did turn out he was 3 for 3 O_O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legs, torso, figure stand plate, and head. All sets have that. So dont waste your time too long feeling those in the bag. The next thing is to find something unique. Surfer girl is the easiest. Her surfboard is HUGE. It is long and flat. No other figure in series 4 has anything like that. Artist, feel for small items like the paint brush or I prefer to look for the painters palate. Werewolf is harder. I look for the bone to be absolutely sure. Sometimes hair pieces can feel the same. So i dont waste my time on feeling hair. Yesterday I picked up 5 Star Wars sets used from craigslist. Tusken Raider Encounter Jabba's Prize (no Boba Fett but came with Jedi Luke from endor (gray printed torso) Darth Maul Light Saber Duel Ep 1 Naboo Fighter with Anakin and R2D2 (no battle droid or service vehicle) Final Duel II (Jedi luke, Imperial Officer, and Stormtrooper) All that for $40 Here is a pic.

I love my 4 printed leg Stormies. They are the elite Stormtroopers of my small army haha. Also if you look closely, Jedi Luke has been changed to flesh colored head and hand.

Thank you for that If I would have lived in the US, I'd have bought tons there, especialy that cheap discontinued clone battle pack I just paid $18 for that set and $41 for Vader's TIE, I could have gotten both for under $35!
